I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.

Once you work with a studio on a film, the studio is sort of like this enormous clam that just opens, takes everything and then closes, and no one enters again. They own it all.

The studios will go wherever they smell money. It's like sharks to the blood.

We're waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will.

We'd love to do Space Ace 3D. It has a lot of potential. But, it is really up to the publishers.

You've got to be able to make animation for much less... Less is not the studio's way.

If the machines can take the drudgery out of it and just leave us with the joy of drawing, then that's the best of both worlds - and I'll use those computers!

The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.

The heart of Dragon's Lair has always been its compelling story. With Dragon's Lair 3D, we think the team has really created an interactive animated movie.

How can you have a director that doesn't go to work with the crew every day and talk to them?

It is never a crime to steal the heart of someone you love.

Oh, if only I could hurt with such misery once again, to feel the powers of love here inside my heart, the joys of heaven and the pains of hell!

Diversity in counsel, unity in command.

A man must pay the fiddler. In my case it so happened that a whole symphony orchestra often had to be subsidized.

Whether we think of, or speak to, God, whether we act or suffer for him, all is prayer, when we have no other object than his love, and the desire of pleasing him.

I never hear white writers get asked, 'Do you worry about how you represent white people?'

Children are geniuses.

In 10 years, I’d love to live near the sea, in a warmer climate. I could see myself with three dogs…and it’d be great to share them with someone else.

I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within the 10-mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the rest of the globe.
